Why Use Aqua King?

Pipe Relining Specialists

At Aqua King Pty Ltd, we specialize in pipe relining and are also licensed drainers. We are constantly keeping up to date with the latest in relining technology and frequently attend training sessions to keep our skills polished.

We are highly trained and licensed to use the NuFlow system which we believe to be the best. When we carry out our pipe relining work we provide you with a 50 year product guarantee. We also supply you with a detailed pre and post CCTV inspection which you can keep for your reference.

We utilize the latest technologies in pipe camera investigations, high pressure jet cleaning and cure-in-place pipe relining, you will never have to worry about leaking, cracked, tree root infested or displaced stormwater or sewer pipes again.

NuFlows pipe relining system and technology is so versatile that the operator can perform pipe relining for sections of pipe as short as 1 meter, as long as you require. The pipe relining can start and stop in any section of pipe as required, and is suitable for pipe from 40mm to over 1.5m in diameter.

There is no requirement to reline an entire length of pipe, to repair one damaged section. We can repair a 1 meter section, in the middle of a 100 meter line if necessary.

We can perform pipe relining and repair all pipes, from PVC to Earthenware and Copper to Concrete and any other material. Both sewer and stormwater pipes, with diameters from 40mm to 1.5mm, can be relined using the Nuflow pipe relining and repair method.

Some of the symptoms of a blocked drain

Toilet gurgles or bubbles

When the toilet is flushed the waste will not discharge

The toilet may fill up then recede slowly

Bad sewer odor

Water fills up and recedes slowly in hand basin, bath shower and floor wastes

Water fills up and recedes slowly in kitchen sink, laundry sink

Gully overflows

What causes my drains to become blocked?

Deteriorated physical condition

They may be satisfactory condition but may have been abused by flushing away foreign items that should never be place into the sewerage system (i.e. plastic bags, kids toys, disposable nappies)

Excessive disposal of cooking fats and oils, along with other domestic products and DIY materials such as plaster, can cause a blockage of the pipe work

Tree roots entering a broken drain is a common problem

Ground movement

How do I know for sure what is causing the blockage?

The only way to know for sure is to literally look. A CCTV survey will enable a clear view and assessment of the section that is blocked / damaged. Using a tiny camera that can be placed inside your pipes, our technicians can visually locate and assess any damages/blockages to your drains.

If there is no structural damage, relining would not be applicable and with the blockage freed the job and the problem would be complete.

If structural damage was the cause of the blockage, relining would be a suitable resolution.

To give you an idea on other projects that we have undertaken and used our pipe relining techniques and technology you can view some of the case studies here : Pipe Relining Case Studies

Maintenance – NuFlow liner creates a permanent protective shield between water contact and the internal area of pipe.

Structure – Increased structural integrity

Diameter – Less than 5% loss of internal diameter after relining.

Water quality – No further corrosion from the leaching of lead, galvanized or copper manufactured pipes resulting in improved drinking water quality.

Economics – Long term savings due to reduced maintenance cost. No disruption through messy excavation and replacement of fixtures.

Infiltration and Ex-filtration – Within minutes of relining, liquids are able to pass through the pipe. Water can be infiltrating on a massive scale during the installation process with no adverse effect on the liner.
